KING OF POP – MICHAEL JACKSON ,A TRIBUTE FROM THE MOST LOYAL FAN SEKHAR

I should have written this on 25th june but couldn’t… I was sooo too devastated to comment or blog after hearing the news . My idol,My everything ,My inspiration My Michael passed away….. No he still lives in my heart. His music,his dance,his soul, and him….. Its not about music Its about the human being he was….

“This is not a time for “goodbye” this is a time for THANK YOU .
Thank you for being you,
Thank you for your beautiful soul,
Thank you for your love.
Thank You for dedicating his life to charity,music and dance,entertainment… If anyone in this world missed michael jackson ’s work then they havnt seen the next level of entertainment…………”

He loved each and every one of us. He cared for the children. Suffering children ! On his own words he tried to

“Heal The World“…

About michael he is the greatest  inspiration for me… ( Oh he inspired a lot of others)..

THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MICHAEL :

The boy from Gary,Indiana,USA who conquered the world,the hearts with his music…..since he was 5 years old.He started performing when he touched 5 or 6… But when i think of those days of Michael what i recall from his own words is the distressing, disturbing childhood & the painful youth he had. The torture from his father… Later on his life he invited struggling children to Neverland. He was a “PETER PAN“there “THE MAN WHO REFUSED TO GROW UP“. So many children came… But two of those thousands did have parents who only wanted money.. They accused Michael Jackson for molesting their son… You know its easy to accuse a person who are great & can be destroyed by just a small accusation. Well he is found not guilty by the court… He resorted to painKillers, valiums… To fight stress during the trials also to fight the injuries from Michael Jackson tours(Victory,BAD,Dangerous& HIStory tours).. He collapsed he began leading a life but with distress, much hurted, much hated…. And he stopped looking after himself…

When Michael Jackson puts his energy,his thoughts to good then it turned out to be great. But when he moved way from public to lead a much private life he had a bad time. He loved when are  people around him.

Then its the fall of Michael Jackson we saw with tears in our eyes.. We the people is the reason for both the Rise & Fall Of Michael jackson. We have to blame ourself for his fall.

Please Please don’t ever hate,accuse  a person if you don’t know the truth or know him personally.

Now everything is over. Now Michael is in heaven. For the past few years He had hell on earth. Now he is in a better place.

“He Died…………When King Lear dies in Act V,do you know what Shakespeare has written? He’s written “He dies.” That’s all, nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is “He dies.” It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with “He dies.” And yet every time I read those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know it’s only natural to be sad, but not because of the words “He dies.” but because of the life we saw prior to the words. He lived all five of his acts, and he is not asking us to be happy that he must go,he is only asking that we turn the page, continue reading… and let the next story begin. And if anyone asks what became of him, you relate his life in all its wonder, and end it with a simple and modest “He died.” Michael…We love you.Sorry for all that we did…..”

Save BandWidth in BSNL Dataone Connection and other limited connection

This article applies to BSNL dataone limited plans and all other plans where the amount of data you use count to the bill. This also Increases the speed of browsing of extremely low bandwidth connection like mobile internet/dial up !!

I think The simple solution is to browse through

1) http://www.loband.org/loband/main

2) http://finch.ploogy.net/

No tweaking of browser is needed it is the best simple way. These applies to the situation where we only need Text rather than photos or ther active contents ..

Normally when we browse you can use up to 40mb +/ hour if the website has lot of flashed and pics.

Why should we waste this if you are only looking for text!!

By using finch/loband  its like 20 mb / day.. hee hee

For example, the New York Times homepage is over  1.4MB. Finch trims that down to 84KB, which doesn’t look as pretty, but is 94% less for your computer to download. Save bandwidth guyssssss!!

Like Finch loband also reduces (trims ) webpages.

Finch also has a proxy service that loband doesnt have.

There are some other features  about loband making it my favorite,

To experience it use Loband for 15 mins and decide…….

From  personal experiance both are fine services.[edited]

today i browsed 1 hour through loband to get an experience,it changed my opnionion about loband

I am suggesting loband for all your slow speed net/expensive bit counting Surfings!!!!

@alan jackson for givin some info!

N73 Music player Best settings!

N73 Me and N73 Is pathetic in Bass response compared to sony ericsson phones! Well tha best settings i feel is give below:

With Headsets :

1) Equilizer : Bass Booster

2) Audio Settings : “Stereo widening = ON” and “Loudness = ON”

With speakers : ( We are not supposed to expect bass response)

1) Equilizer : Rock

2) Audio Settings : “Stereo widening = OFF” and “Loudness = OFF”

This is the best Easy settings i feel ! You can share views tooo!!

In most songs if stereo widening and loudness is ON the treble produced by our beloved N73 is awful!

Must Have or Essential Softwares for NSeries and other symbian phones!

To utilise our Nseries babe thses software are essentials

1)CorePlayer : I strongly support this player. This is the vlc for mobiles. Plays avi,divx,xvid,mp4,3gp,mpeg,wmv,flv “Youtube videos” and much more………

2) LCG XPLORE : An Extremely stable and reliable file explorer. It handles (both compressing and decompressing) rar and zip files.

3) Ultimate portable voice recorder : It is the ultimate call recorder “without beep”! It carries all the functionality of Built in voice recorder and but without the 5 second beep!

4) Symtorrent : A symbian version of bittorrent !! (if you ve unlimited connection plan)

5) Mobilesystems dictionary viewer(MSDICT) : A dictionary viewer that lets you view all dictionaries installed in your system!

6)MSDict Concise Oxford American Dictionary and Thesaurus : Oxford American Dictionary and Thesaurus for all your needs

7) Advanced Device Locks : We can lock (Password Protect) gallery, mediaplayer,messages and all other installed applications individually. A real Privacy Protector!

8)Kaspersky Antivirus : The best antivirus for mobile with antispam,antitheft,firewall and obviosly antivirus!(Less memory consuming).

9)Rotate me : Rotates your nseries screen to landscape mode from portrait!! Trust me landscape mode is awsome with abilty to browse and view docs more cleanly!

10) Quick Office 4.5 or 5 : The best office suite! The preinstalled one  in Nokia are useless!

11) Adobe reader 2.5 LE : A PDF Document Viewer ! The preinstalled one is useless!

12) Opera Mobile : A complete mobile browser supprting AJAX,javascripts etc.

13) TeaShark Browser: This java browser competes with symbian browsers! It renders the pages in same way as of a desktop! It uses webkit like apple safari browser….. Teashark paases the pages throgh a separate server and compresses the pages to reduce bandwith costs and to increase speed!

14) Scribe : Scribe™ is a mobile publishing application for bloggers, and is currently available in beta for Symbian 3rd Edition devices.

15)Active File: A simple and good looking file explorer! But i prefer XPLORE!

Best Quality Video settings for Nokia N Series and Symbian Handsets!

Note : IF YOU WANT INSANE QUALITY AND ARE LAZY TO USE SMARTMOVIE IF YOUR HANDSET IS N73 AND ABOVE IN HORSEPOWER THEN USE 700MB AVI FILES WHICH IS TOO COMMON AND IF AND ONLY IF YOU ARE NOT BOTHERED ABOUT THE SIZE AND USE COREPLAYER(ONLY THIS PLAYER PLAYS 700MB AVI FILES SMOOTHLY NOW)

For N73 users: If you just throw in 700mb files it may be chopy in fast sequences

for avoiding that download “avirecomb” and resize the video to 320×240 but with same size that is 700 mb! so in same bitrate. now we will get fluid motion! And this is the insane quality available for N73!

(The Whole procedure may apply to other phones tooo!!!)

Nokia Nseries can be used to watch movies too!! Especially Nokia N95 , Nokia N73 etc coz of their large screen!

Things you need :

1) Nokia Phone(lol)

2) Core player for mobile (Plays Mpeg,wmv,flv(youtube),avi,mp3….. hey its  a vlc player for mobile)

3) Smart Movie Converter

Here are the steps:

Note: For n95 and above and for n73 you can just throw in 700 mb avi file of movies to the core player installed in the mobile!  Core player will play the 700mb dvd rips in N95 and above smoothly and in N73 the play back is near fluid (Very much Watchable)!

The best Video Setting:

1) Open Smart movie Converter

2) Click Configure and select ffdshow video encoder

3) And in options set the following

ffdshow video encoder
Generic:MPEG4
FOURCC.DivX
Max keyframe interval 254
min keyframe 1
one pass quality based-%70 i recommend

Audio:
128 kbps 44100hz

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tutorial : Install Avant Window Navigator in Ubuntu

ut first, a little history lesson about AWN. OK? Good… You should know that Avant Window Navigator, also known as AWN, is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen. It has support for launchers, task lists, and third party applets. To get a better idea about what we are talking about here, take a look at the image in the left!

I have tried to make this guide as simple as possible, for every user to follow it and obtain a working AWN installation in the end.

This is the easy method and recommend for all users!

Step 1 – Add the repositories

Go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and enter your password when asked.

A new window appears, click the second tab “Third-Party Software”, then click the ‘Add’ button and paste the following lines (one by one):

CODE


deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu hardy main

Now click the ‘Close’ button of the main window. It will ask if you want to reload the information about available software. Click ‘Reload’ and wait for the Software Sources window to close.

Install AWN

Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and paste the following command:

CODE

sudo apt-get install awn-manager-trunk awn-extras-applets-trunk

Hit the “Y” key when asked, and complete the installation. Close the terminal window and start the AWN dock from Applications -> Accessories -> Avant Window Navigator.

Windows Vista service pack 1 (sp1) Released!

It has 23 security updates, 550 hotfixes, and is packed into a 434.5MB package or 726.5MB for the 64-bit version. That’s a fat service pack if I do say so myself.

Some of the more apparent fixes include file copying ETA being more accurate, UAC should pop up a bit less in certain areas, and DirectX has been fixed to support DX9, DX10, and DX10.1 hardware. They also fixed WGA to fix the two most common exploits of the system and they’ve added some more support for third party search solutions.

Prior to getting the service pack you must have,

1)935509 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935509/) A software update is available for versions of Windows Vista that include the Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption feature

2)938371 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938371/) A software update is available for the Windows Vista installation components

3)937287 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937287/) A software update is available for the Windows Vista installation software feature

What I really want to know from you, the readers, is does this new SP make Vista usable? You see I’ve had a copy of Vista Home Premium ever since it was released and I installed, and then promptly uninstalled it, shortly after I got it, but if Vista is now usable again, myself, and I am sure countless others, would be interested in knowing if its worth the update.
